Fabled is basically the Machinist minus Batman, minus a pretty well known director, minus the writer for Texas Chainsaw Redux, minus the main star's weight loss stunt (which was pretty freaky looking) and everything that millions of dollars of a budget brings.
That is what you are left with. Not much.
You also don't get a crappy ending like Machinist and all the ego.
At least this one didn't attempt to wrap the whole thing up like some 40 year old episode of the Twilight Zone.
Fabled was a nice try. That should be it's tag line. The filmmakers did a lot with what they had, but in the end I'd rather watch the version that had better production values and actors and that's the Machinist.
If it's gonna be a slow ride, it better be a pretty one.
